itojun suggested usage of ctext to me. ctext is a character set
developed in the X window system. ctext designates Latin-1 to G1 (i.e. 
8bit) while it designates others to G0 (i.e. 7bit).

I quickly tested this stuff and got a good result. At least, ASCII,
Latin-1 and Japanese can co-exist.

If you use Mule 2.3, try:
	(defvar mew-cs-scan         '*ctext*)
If you use Emacs 20, try:
	(defvar mew-cs-scan         'ctext)

I have already modified mew-mulex.el, so this configuration will be
available by default in the next beta version.
